This application claims the benefit of, and priority to, U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/817,497, filed Mar. 12, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELDThe present disclosure is related to devices and methods for the repair of defects that occur in articular cartilage on the surface of bones, and particularly to systems and methods for repairing the humeral head and/or glenoid.
BACKGROUNDArticular cartilage, found at the ends of articulating bones in the body, is typically composed of hyaline cartilage, which has many unique properties that allow it to function effectively as a smooth and lubricious load-bearing surface. When injured, however, hyaline cartilage cells are not typically replaced by new hyaline cartilage cells. Healing is dependent upon the occurrence of bleeding from the underlying bone and formation of scar or reparative cartilage called fibrocartilage. While similar, fibrocartilage does not possess the same unique aspect of native hyaline cartilage and tends to be less durable.
In some cases, it may be necessary or desirable to repair the damaged articular cartilage using one or more implants. While implants may be successfully used, the implant should be designed to maximize the patient's comfort, minimize damage to surrounding areas, minimize potential further injury, maximize the functional life of the implant, and be easy to install.
Features and advantages of the present invention are set forth by description of embodiments consistent with the present invention, which description should be considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:

The humeral implant site 10 may be formed in the humerus 12 in such a manner to aid in the positioning of the humeral implant system 14 and to reduce and/or prevent movement of the humeral implant system 14 relative to the humerus 12. At least a portion of the humeral implant site 10 may therefore be formed with a shape/contour/profile that inversely corresponds to the shape/contour/profile of at least a portion of the humeral implant system 14. As described herein, the humeral implant system 14 may include an anchor 16, an intermediate component or tray 18, and an implant or liner 20. The anchor 16 may be configured to be secured to the bone 12 within the humeral implant site 10, the tray 18 may be configured to be secured to the anchor 16, and the liner 20 may be configured to be secured to the tray 18. As shown, the liner 20 includes a load bearing surface 22 having a generally concaved surface contour (e.g., a reverse shoulder). While aspects/embodiments of the humeral implant system 14 may be described in the context of a reverse shoulder, it should be appreciated that the humeral implant system 14 is not limited to a reverse shoulder configuration. As such, the humeral implant system 14 may include a load bearing surface 22 having any shape/contour/profile such as, but no limited to, a shape/contour/profile that corresponds to the patient's original, native shape/contour/profile.

The working axis 200 may be established using a guide 204. The guide 204 may define a passageway 206 formed in a guide body 208 extending along the working axis 200. The passageway 206 may be configured to receive one or more pins 205 such that the pin 205 may be advanced through the passageway 206 and secured into the bone 12 along the working axis 200, for example, using a drill or the like (not shown for clarity). The passageway 206 may substantially correspond to the cross-section (e.g., diameter) of the outside of the pin 205 to align the pin 205 along the working axis 200. The depth that the pin 205 is secured into the bone 12 may be set using the guide 202. For example, the pin 205 and/or the guide 202 may include indicia (such as, but not limited to, laser markings, windows, shoulders, or the like) that may set the depth of the pin 205 into the bone 12.
The guide body 208 may include one or more locating features 210 such as, but not limited to, arms 212. The locating features 210 may be configured to contact native articular surface 202 and align/position the passageway 206 relative to the native articular surface 202. For example, the arms 212 may include tips 214 configured to engage and/or contact specific points of the humerus 12. The arms 212 may therefore have sizes and/or shapes based on the size and/or shape of the patient. The arms 212 may extend in one or more planes. For example, the arms 212 may extend in two mutually perpendicular planes. In one example, the arms 212 may be configured to substantially continuously contact against the native articular surface 202 along one or more planes; however, it should be appreciated that the arms 212 may only contact a plurality of discrete points (such as, but not limited to, the tips 216). The guide 202 may also optionally include a handle 218 configured to allow a surgeon to grasp and position the guide 202 relative to the native articular surface 202.
Once the pin 205 is secured to the bone 12 along the working axis 200, the guide 202 may be removed. Next, a cannulated threaded instrument 300,

The cutting surfaces 606 may be configured to remove at least some of the central region 609 of the intermediate central surface 700 revolved around the working axis 200, while leaving behind an arcuate (e.g., semi-spherical) outer ring 702 of the arcuate surface 407 centered around the working axis 200. As described herein, the arcuate outer ring 702 may inversely correspond to a portion of an inner surface of the tray 18 of the humeral implant system 14. As such, the at least a portion of the profile of the cutting surface 406 of the first reamer 400, when revolved around the working axis 200, may correspond to the portion of the inner surface of the tray 18 of the humeral implant system 14.
In at least one example, the cutting surfaces 606 of the second reamer 600 may be configured to form a generally planar shape/surface. Alternatively (or in addition), the cutting surfaces 606 may be formed by one curves, two or more tangential curves, and/or curves having one or more inflection points. The second reamer 600 may be advanced along the working axis 200 until a portion of the second reamer 600 (e.g., a central portion) contacts/abuts against a portion of the shoulder 308 of the cannulated threaded instrument 300. Alternatively (or in addition), the depth of the second reamer 600 along the working axis 200 may be set/determined using indicia/markings on the pin 205 and/or the cannulated threaded instrument 300. While the intermediate central surface 700 is shown having a generally planar surface and the central region 609 formed by the first reamer 400 is shown having a semi-spherical surface, it should be appreciated that the present disclosure is not limited to either of these configurations unless specifically claimed as such since these surfaces will ultimately be removed.

A peripheral rim 902 may be formed between the convex socket/surface 900. In at least one example, the peripheral rim 902 may be formed by a remaining portion of the intermediate central surface 700. As such, the third reamer 800 may remove only a portion of the intermediate central surface 700. Alternatively, peripheral rim 902 may be formed by the intersection of the arcuate outer ring 702 with the convex socket/surface 900. As such, the third reamer 800 may remove all of the intermediate central surface 700. As described herein, the convex surface/socket 900 and/or the peripheral rim 902 may inversely correspond to a portion of an inner surface of the tray 18. As such, the at least a portion of the profile of the cutting surface 806 of the third reamer 800, when revolved around the working axis 200, may correspond to the portion of the inner surface of the tray 18. Once the convex surface/socket 900 has been formed, the cannulated threaded instrument 300 may be removed as shown in

Alternatively (or in addition), the trial implant 1010 may be used to verify the surface contour of the arcuate outer ring 702, the socket 900, and/or the peripheral rim 902. For example, the trial implant 1010 may include a trial 1012 coupled to a handle 1014. The trial 1012 and the handle 1014 may be cannulated and configured to be advanced along the working axis 200. In the illustrated example, the trial 1012 and the handle 1014 may include a passageway 1016 configured to receive the cannulated shaft 1002 of the fourth reamer 1000. The trial 1012 may have an inner surface 1018 which corresponds to the inner surface of the tray 18 of the humeral implant system 14. The trial 1012 may therefore be advanced along the working axis 200 and used to verify that the surface contour of the arcuate outer ring 702, the socket 900, and/or the peripheral rim 902 matches the profile of the tray 18. The trial 1012 (e.g., the inner surface 1018) may contact three portions of the arcuate outer ring 702, the socket 900, and/or the peripheral rim 902 and/or may contact the entire surface of the arcuate outer ring 702, the socket 900, and/or the peripheral rim 902 (e.g., as generally illustrated in

A proximal end 1308 of the anchor 16 may include a fixation element 1310 configured to be coupled to a corresponding fixation element of the tray 18 to secure the anchor 16 to the tray 18. For example, the fixation element 1310 includes a tapered interference fit (e.g., a Morse taper or the like). In the illustrated example, the fixation element 1310 is a female tapered recess configured to mate with a corresponding tapered male protrusion formed on the tray 18; however, it should be appreciated that this arrangement may be reversed. Alternatively (or in addition), the fixation element 1310 may include any other mechanism and/or fastener for either permanently or removably coupling the anchor 16 to the tray 18 such as, but not limited to, snap fit connections, threaded connections, adhesives, or the like.
The proximal end 1308 of the anchor 16 may optionally include a driving feature 1312. The driving feature 1312 may be configured to mate with a driver (such as a drill or the like) to secure the anchor 16 into the bone 12. For example, the driving feature 1312 may be configured to allow a drill to rotate the anchor 16 into the bone. In the non-limiting example, the driving feature 1312 is a hex recess.

The liner recess 1906 of the tray 18 may be configured to be coupled to the implant 20. The liner recess 1906 may have a generally concave shape configured to receive at least a portion of the implant 20. For example, the liner recess 1906 may have a generally concave shape that generally inversely corresponds to a tray interface surface of the implant 20. According to one example, the tray 18 may include one or more fixation elements 1920 configured to be coupled to a corresponding fixation element of the implant/liner 20 to secure the implant/liner 20 to the tray 18. In the illustrated example, the fixation element 1920 may form a snap fit connection with the implant/liner 20. For example, the fixation element 1920 may include a tab or latch configured to deform when the implant 20 is urged into the liner recess 1906, and then resiliently snap back into a recess and/or groove on the implant 20. Of course, the fixation element 1920 may alternatively or additionally include any other mechanism and/or fastener for either permanently or removably coupling the implant 20 to the tray 18 such as, but not limited to, tapered interference connections (e.g., a Morse taper or the like), threaded connections, adhesives, or the like.
The tray 18 may have a thickness 1922 configured to position the implant 20 at the desired position relative to the bone 12. The outer surface 1924 of the body 1902 of the tray 18 may have a generally frusto-conical and/or frusto-spherical shape. The generally frusto-conical and/or frusto-spherical shape may be configured to allow the humerus 12 to move relative to the glenoid while minimizing the potential for the humerus 12 to contact the glenoid.
